  3. Controlled practice
  The following four dialogues are in the wrong order. Rearrange them to make a natural flow of conversation.
  Dialogue 1
  ( ) Really? What did you expect?
  ( ) No, I've been to the States before, but this is the first time in Atlanta.
  ( ) So, what do you think of Atlanta?
  ( ) Fine, I'll see what I can arrange.
  ( ) Well, it's not what I expected.
  ( ) There is a part like that. You must let me show you around.
  ( ) Well, I suppose I thought it would be more traditional.
  ( ) That would be interesting.
  ( ) Is this your first trip over here?
  Dialogue 2
  ( ) I'm sure. I hope to get back here again
  ( ) That's a pity. There's a lot to see.
  ( ) Good. Are you here on business then?
  ( ) Are you staying long?
  ( ) Really? That's interesting. What line are you in?
  ( ) No, just a couple of days.
  ( ) Yes, we're thinking of setting up an office here.
  Dialogue 3
  ( ) That would be nice.
  ( ) That's interesting. My son is an editor on the local paper.
  ( ) I believe you're in journalism.
  ( ) Really? I expect I'll meet him.
  ( ) Yes, that's right -on the editorial side.
  ( ) Yes, what about coming round for a drink? I could introduce you to him.
  Dialogue 4
  ( ) Scotland. This time of year it's pretty cold.
  ( ) A bit warmer than back home.
  ( ) Well, if you do come across, you must visit us.
  ( ) Oh, so where do you come from?
  ( ) Yes, that's right. The best time to visit is in the summer.
  ( ) I can imagine. I've never been but people tell me it's very beautiful.
  ( ) How do you find the weather here?
  ( ) Maybe I'll get across next year.
  课文注释及词汇讲解
  * try 试图
  try to do sth. 尽力做某事
  eg. We'll try to meet the customers' demands
  我们将尽力满足客户的需求。
  * common interest 共同兴趣
  eg. Two strangers are trying to find topics of common interest.
  两个陌生人正在尽量寻找双方都感兴趣的话题。
  * trip 旅行
  eg. This is my second trip to the United States.
  这是我第二次来美国。
  * Do you like it here?
  你喜欢这儿吗?
  注意:
  代词"it"在这里没有什么实际意义,但必不可少。因为here为副词,like为及物动词,所以需要有it做宾语。
  * How do you find Tokyo?
  你觉得东京怎么样?
  也可以说成 "What do you think of Tokyo?"或 "How do you like Tokyo?"
  * interesting 令人感兴趣的
  eg. The film is interesting.
  这部电影很有趣。
  Interested (人对某事或某物)感受到有兴趣的
  Eg. I'm interested in the film.
  我对这部影片感兴趣。
  * another 另一(个,件…)
  eg. Would you like another cup of tea?
  你还要一杯茶吗?

  我还需要一天才能完成工作。
  * stay 停留,暂住
  eg. Are you staying long?
  你逗留的时间长吗?
  Which hotel are you staying in?
  你住在哪家旅馆?
  注意:
  stay为不及物动词,所以在第二个例句中一定要接介词in ,这样才能带宾语。
  * unfortunately 令人遗憾,运气不好地
  eg. Unfortunately, I can only stay for a week.
  真遗憾,我只能呆一周。
  * Business or pleasure?
  出差还是度假?
  本句为 "Do you come here for business or for pleasure?"的省略句。在口语中经常用省略句。
  * I'm afraid… 我恐怕……,恐怕是……[有时可以不直译]
  该句式用于缓和语气或婉转地表达想法,也可以用于表示不肯定的语气。
  Eg. I'm afraid I can't come on Friday afternoon, because I will be having a meeting then.
  因为要开个会,周五下午我恐怕不能来。
  * set up 建立,设立
  eg. We are going to set up a new plant in this area.

  注意:
  在英语中东北、东南、西北、西南分别为northeast.

  eg. I'm in fashion-on the design side.
